TeraVM O-CU Tester

The TeraVM is a family of products that enables network equipment manufacturers and service providers to efficiently test mobile RAN and Core Network elements at scale, with its fully virtualized architecture TeraVM runs on x86 Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) hardware or in the cloud, providing a repeatable and consistent test environment, available without the need for engineers to enter the test lab.

The most recent addition to this family of products is the first-to-market TeraVM O-CU Tester,  this O-CU subsystem test solution delivers a complete wraparound testing framework for the O-CU with TeraVM’s stateful emulation capabilities, ensuring that the O-CU can be robustly tested and optimized for high-quality and performance in a deterministic, repeatable and reproducible manner.

Benefits:

• X86 Server based HW gives flexibility for multiple users to share the test system increasing the ROI
• Highly scalable reducing hardware obsolescence issues
• Works seamlessly with sister products TM500 and TeraVM so that engineers familiar with other VIAVI products have a faster ramp-up time
• Works with TeraVM Core Emulator and vRAN Emulator to enable O-CU testing to be done in a stable and constant environment giving increased reliability and boosting productivity by avoiding the constant changes to a real core
• Automation and scripting to speed up testing and thereby also increase engineering productivity and optimize customer experience

Key Features:

• First to market O-CU wraparound test compliant with latest 3GPP, O-RAN standards
• Runs in lightweight VM on standard COTS hardware
• CI/CD Automation Integration
• Functional Testing
• Performance, Capacity Testing
• Supports Open source automation tools such as Jenkins
• Optional Core Emulator, vRAN Emulator
